MigrationCompass for PrimeUI
A non-technical dashboard that scans your Angular codebase for PrimeNG usage, estimates the cost and risk of moving to PrimeUI, and produces a board-ready migration plan a CTO can hand to leadership.
CTOs, engineering managers, and product leaders overseeing Angular applications
- Static-analysis scan that inventories every PrimeNG component and version in use across repos
- Risk and effort estimate with breaking-change callouts pulled from the PrimeUI changelog
- Auto-generated migration plan ordered by lowest-risk wins (component swaps, theme tokens)
- Board-ready one-pager explaining timeline, team allocation, and business risk of waiting
PrimeNG was just archived and active development moved to the new PrimeUI foundation — companies running Angular apps now face an unplanned migration decision and need a clear-eyed assessment before committing budget.
Core premise is false: PrimeNG is NOT archived — PrimeTek still actively ships it (v21.1.9 current, v22 just released under 'PrimeUI umbrella'). It is the same company maintaining the same library with a new brand/licensing layer, not an abandoned project requiring forced migration.GitHub - primefaces/primeng: The Most Complete Angular UI Component Library ↗Migration - PrimeNG v22 ↗
PrimeTek itself publishes official migration guides for v19, v20, v21, v22 and adopted a no-breaking-change policy since v20, so in-place upgrades cover most needs. The 'openng-org/open-prime' GitHub Trending source cited as the trend signal returned zero search results and cannot be verified.Migration - PrimeNG v22 ↗Migration - PrimeNG v21 ↗
No willingness-to-pay signal: CTOs won't fund assessment of a migration that isn't actually required, and PrimeUI PRO components are launching for Vue first — Angular teams don't even face the commercial-PRO decision yet. PrimeTek's own licensing FAQ suggests the Community tier remains usable.PrimeUI pricing / licensing FAQ ↗PrimeStore | PrimeUI ↗
Window is near-zero: once teams run the trivial PrimeTek-provided in-place upgrade (often automated via Angular schematics), the assessment-tool value evaporates within one release cycle. No structural, multi-year forced migration to plan against.Migration Guide · primefaces/primeng Wiki · GitHub ↗
Technically feasible: scanning an Angular codebase for PrimeNG imports/usages is a standard AST/static-analysis job (e.g., @angular/cdk schematics, ts-morph) and producing a board-style report is straightforward templating.Migration Guide · primefaces/primeng Wiki · GitHub ↗
